What comes to mind when you think of the holiday season? For some, it's turkey and football. For others, it's hot chocolate around the Christmas tree surrounded by family and friends. For many, it's the dreaded chaos of crowded stores, standing in line until your feet are sore only to be disappointed by nearly empty shelves and boring gift ideas. If this sounds familiar - pay attention. We have some important information to share with you!

Checking out small businesses can save you from becoming a Scrooge this holiday season. Avoiding large crowds and tired employees doesn't mean you have to miss out on a great selection of unique gifts. Every item within a small business has been hand-picked by a thoughtful owner with your best interest in mind. They strive to make your shopping experience personable, convenient and enjoyable. When you shop small, you're not only supporting their business, but your entire community. So take a stroll down your local main street or (if you're the type of shopper that prefers the comfort of your pajamas) take a look at our list down below. Either way, let's get together and give back to those who are always there.

Just because it's online doesn't mean it's not small! Check out our list of small business clients that offer great gift ideas without even having to leave your house!

Skip the Starbucks gift card this year and opt for coffee that gives back. (We are obsessed with these brands!)
